SO is far more realistic than vanilla OOTP. You have to look at the scouting report - not precise potential values that no GM could ever know - and look at the player's stats and make decisions. There is no magic numbers to help you.
In real life, scouts rate players on a numerical scale. It's not OOTP's 1-20 scale, but you can, of course, use 2-8 or 20-80 to be more realistic. The written scouting report in OOTP is simply a direct reflection of the numerical ratings anyway.
